Theatre and My Life

         When I started here IUP I was an Accounting Major.  I have since then switched to Business Management because I couldn't stand accounting.  I had never really thought much about how theatre was used in my life until I took the course.  I now think and look at a lot of things very differently in my life. 
People use different roles and act differently every day, in different situations.  We have a side of ourselves that we do not want anybody else to see.  We all have certain ways we act around certain people.  I am no different.  I have a different role for almost all situations.  When I am here at school, I am just like everybody else.  I hang around with all my friends and just try to enjoy the situation.  The only situation I act differently for at school is for the ROTC.  I am in a serious role where I need to be more respectful and responsible than any other part of day.  I feel this will eventually be my primary role in life since this is something i feel very strongly about.
When I am at work, it is all about work.  I may act in a way to try to keep everybody in a good mood, but when it comes to getting things done, in my opinion there is nobody else out there with as good of a work ethic as me.  I find it interesting to see how other people in my life act, and the roles they seem to portray.  Working is a very good part of my life because I am a work-a-holic, because of my addiction to have lots and lots money.  Could that be considered a role in itself?
I am not really sure how theatre affects my life much more than that because its all I do while I am in school.  School, ROTC, and work is my life.  I will continue to think of how theatre affects me in my everyday life once I get back to it.
